30 top Russian Internet companies according to Forbes Russia

What is helpful in this piece of work by Forbes Russia is the revenue figures by the top Russian Internet companies. Ostrovok is nowhere in sight.

The rating is based on the revenue figures which were estimated by Forbes’ “black box”. Here is a list which may or may not be useful for striking successful business partnership and penetrating the lucrative (and growing) Russian Internet market, particularly e-commerce. Groupon.ru (ex Darberry) is conspicuously absent. The authors say that it has to do with the foreign ownership. Yet, a number of other included websites, such as Avito, have Swedish nationals as its founders. And yet, they made it to the list, and Google and Facebook did not. The rating includes only B2C businesses.
